This is a discussion on Uppipe, Downpipe, Muffler INSTALL GUIDE! within the Engine Performance forums, part of the Tutorials & DIY category; Thanks for the comments, any problems with the instructions, or did you have mostly eveything you needed?...

For the turbo-to-downpipe bolts, I just used similar torque to what is pictured as T3 in those pictures. (26 ft lb) For the midpipe-to-downpipe bolts (if you have a short aftermarket downpipe vs the long aftermarket downpipes), you should use the same T3 torque there.

On bolts past the downpipe, your tightening torque is up to you. The most important torque figures are for the header, exhaust manifold, and uppipe. After the turbo, it is much less likely to have an exhaust leak as most people usually have uppipe leaks from improper torquing (or forgetting about re-torquing those bolts)

You can see a shot of what the ScoobySport exhaust looks like installed by viewing the videos at the beginning of this thread. They have a good shot of the car at idle and you can see the exhaust on their test car at RallyPerformance.com
